Langston University Top Questions

The best advice i would give to perspective parents and or students looking for the right college to attend would be that first and foremost you have to choose a place where you will be happy. You should choose a college where you feel as though you will not be just another student that attends this school but a student that feels important and is receiving the right amount of time with his or her professors. You should attend a school where you feel as though you will receive an education that will benifit you and help you achieve your goals. In addition, in order to make the best of your college experience you should avoid keeping yourself cooped up in your dorm room. You should involve yourself in on campus orginizations and activities that pertain to your interests. By involving yourself in on campus activites you are meeting your peers, making life long friends, and learning about your school history and what it has to offer.

Well, frist i'll would make sure that's the college or unverstiy the student is interested in. Once they find the right college then take steps on seeing what they can join to better their experience there. Tell them to be theirself and talk to students at will be in their freshman class, because you can always use a good study partner. Make sure the college that you will be attending has the field that the student is going to college for. And when coming the to grades in class to not to be so hard on yourself and just remember it is a learning experience and just grow from it, and know that college is different from high school. And it is more studying involved then in high school. And last but not least remember you can still have fun with activities on campus and still keep your head in the books, while doing so.

The advice I would give to them is first and foremost, research every college/university that you and your child may consider. Also make sure those school offer financial aid for child or what scholarships they may have for your child. To the child, make the most of your college experience because you only get one (not unless you plan to be a professional college student. LOL j/k); but enjoy it to the fullest, make outlasting friendships/relationship. And remember not all your teachers are out to get you, they are actually there to see you succeed and make something out of yourself. -Thank you for this opportunity LaTara (Tara) Sutton

The best advice i could give to the parents is make sure before sending your kids off to college that it is very resourceful so that they can have whatever they need and not have to rely on others so much, and before leaving them make sure that their finanical aid is complete and turned in on time. For the students I would advise them to stay determined and focused on school, don't get caught up in all the fun and games of the freedom that the college life has to offer, make good responsible friends, and just to stay open minded to being a well rounded person.
